Description

  The present invention relates to an organic light emitting device having high luminous efficiency. Further, the present invention relates to a light emitting material and a compound that can be effectively used for the organic light emitting element.

  Researches for increasing the light emission efficiency of organic light emitting devices such as organic electroluminescence devices (organic EL devices) are being actively conducted. In particular, various efforts have been made to increase luminous efficiency by newly developing and combining light emitting materials, host materials, electron transporting materials, hole transporting materials, and the like that constitute organic electroluminescence elements. Among them, studies on organic electroluminescence devices using a compound having a structure in which a (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group is substituted on a pyrazine ring can be seen.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes that a polyazaacene compound represented by the following general formula is used as a light emitting material of an organic light emitting device. In the following general formula, R ^{1 to} R ⁴ represent a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group, and at least one of R ^{1 to} R ⁴ represents a substituted or unsubstituted (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group, and W ¹ , W ² , X ¹ , X ² , Y ¹ , Y ² , Z ¹ and Z ² are said to represent a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom. However, Patent Document 1 does not describe a compound in which R ^{1 to} R ⁴ are substituents other than the (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group.

Patent Document 2 describes that a pyrazine derivative represented by the following general formula is used as a host material or a light emitting material of a light emitting layer constituting a light emitting element. R ^{1 to} R ³ in the following general formulas represent any of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, and A represents any of the substituents represented by the general formulas (a-1) to (a-4). R ⁴ represents an alkyl group or an aryl group, R ^{5 to} R ⁷ represent any of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, Ar ^{1 to} Ar ⁷ represent an aryl group, α is said to represent an arylene group. Further, as a specific example, a pyrazine derivative in which A is an N, N-diphenylamino group, R ³ is a 4- (N, N-diphenylamino) phenyl group, and R ¹ and R ² are phenyl groups is a host material of a phosphorescent material. The example used as is described. However, all of the compounds described in Patent Document 2 are pyrazine derivatives whose central skeleton is composed of a monocyclic pyrazine ring. In this document, a central skeleton having a structure in which a plurality of pyrazine rings are fused (polyazaacene skeleton) No compound with is described.

JP 2014-9352 A Japanese Patent No. 5227510

As described above, Patent Document 1 describes that a polyazaacene compound substituted with an (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group can be used as a light emitting material. However, all of the compounds described in Patent Document 1 are those in which the substituent substituted on the polyazaacene skeleton is an (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group. In the same document, there are other substituents on the polyazaacene skeleton. There is no description of compounds substituted by.
On the other hand, when the present inventors started various studies on a group of compounds having a structure in which a polyazaacene skeleton is substituted with an (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group, the polyazaacene skeleton has an (N, N-diarylamino group). ) For the first time, it was found that a compound group having a structure in which an aryl group and an aryl group having no N, N-diarylamino group are substituted has high utility as a light-emitting material, and further investigation was made. As described above, Patent Document 1 describes that a compound in which a (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group is substituted on a polyazaacene skeleton is useful as a light-emitting material of an organic light-emitting device. However, this document does not discuss compounds in which a polyazaacene skeleton is substituted with an (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group and an aryl group that does not have an N, N-diarylamino group. On the other hand, Patent Document 2 describes a compound in which a mono-pyrazine ring is substituted with a 4- (N, N-diphenylamino) phenyl group and a phenyl group having no substituent. However, this document does not describe a compound having a polyazaacene skeleton in which a plurality of pyrazine rings are fused. For this reason, the usefulness as a luminescent material of the compound which substituted the aryl group which does not have (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group and N, N-diarylamino group in the polyaza acene skeleton cannot be predicted at all.

  Under such circumstances, the present inventors have used a polyazaacene compound in which an (N, N-diarylamino) aryl group and an aryl group having no N, N-diarylamino are substituted as a light-emitting material of the organic light-emitting device. A study was carried out for the purpose of evaluating usefulness. In addition, a general formula of a compound useful as a light-emitting material has been derived, and extensive studies have been conducted with the aim of generalizing the structure of an organic light-emitting device having high luminous efficiency.

  As a result of diligent studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have clarified that a polyazaacene compound having a specific structure is extremely useful as a light emitting material of an organic light emitting device. And it discovered that there existed a compound useful as a delayed fluorescence material in such a polyaza acene compound, and clarified that an organic light emitting element with high luminous efficiency could be provided. Based on these findings, the present inventors have provided the following present invention as means for solving the above problems.

[Organic light emitting device]
The compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention is useful as a light emitting material of an organic light emitting device. For this reason, the compound represented by General formula (1) of this invention can be effectively used as a luminescent material for the light emitting layer of an organic light emitting element. The compound represented by the general formula (1) includes a delayed fluorescent material (delayed phosphor) that emits delayed fluorescence. That is, the present invention relates to a delayed phosphor having a structure represented by the general formula (1), an invention using a compound represented by the general formula (1) as a delayed phosphor, and a general formula (1). An invention of a method for emitting delayed fluorescence using the represented compound is also provided. An organic light emitting device using such a compound as a light emitting material emits delayed fluorescence and has a feature of high luminous efficiency. The principle will be described below by taking an organic electroluminescence element as an example.

  In an organic electroluminescence element, carriers are injected into a light emitting material from both positive and negative electrodes to generate an excited light emitting material and emit light. In general, in the case of a carrier injection type organic electroluminescence element, 25% of the generated excitons are excited to the excited singlet state, and the remaining 75% are excited to the excited triplet state. Therefore, the use efficiency of energy is higher when phosphorescence, which is light emission from an excited triplet state, is used. However, since the excited triplet state has a long lifetime, energy saturation occurs due to saturation of the excited state and interaction with excitons in the excited triplet state, and in general, the quantum yield of phosphorescence is often not high. On the other hand, the delayed fluorescent material transitions to the excited triplet state due to intersystem crossing, etc., and then crosses back to the excited singlet state due to triplet-triplet annihilation or absorption of thermal energy, and emits fluorescence. To do. In the organic electroluminescence device, it is considered that a thermally activated delayed fluorescent material by absorption of thermal energy is particularly useful. When a delayed fluorescent material is used for the organic electroluminescence element, excitons in the excited singlet state emit fluorescence as usual. On the other hand, excitons in the excited triplet state absorb heat generated by the device and cross between the excited singlets to emit fluorescence. At this time, since the light is emitted from the excited singlet, the light is emitted at the same wavelength as the fluorescence, but the light lifetime (luminescence lifetime) generated by the reverse intersystem crossing from the excited triplet state to the excited singlet state is normal. Since the fluorescence becomes longer than the fluorescence and phosphorescence, it is observed as fluorescence delayed from these. This can be defined as delayed fluorescence. If such a heat-activated exciton transfer mechanism is used, the ratio of the compound in an excited singlet state, which normally generated only 25%, is increased to 25% or more by absorbing thermal energy after carrier injection. It can be raised. If a compound that emits strong fluorescence and delayed fluorescence even at a low temperature of less than 100 ° C is used, the heat of the device will sufficiently cause intersystem crossing from the excited triplet state to the excited singlet state and emit delayed fluorescence. Efficiency can be improved dramatically.

The organic electroluminescence device produced by the above-described method emits light by applying an electric field between the anode and the cathode of the obtained device. At this time, if the light is emitted by excited singlet energy, light having a wavelength corresponding to the energy level is confirmed as fluorescence emission and delayed fluorescence emission. In addition, in the case of light emission by excited triplet energy, a wavelength corresponding to the energy level is confirmed as phosphorescence. Since normal fluorescence has a shorter fluorescence lifetime than delayed fluorescence, the emission lifetime can be distinguished from fluorescence and delayed fluorescence.
On the other hand, with respect to phosphorescence, in ordinary organic compounds such as the compounds of the present invention, the excited triplet energy is unstable and is converted into heat and the like, and the lifetime is short and it is immediately deactivated.

  The features of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to synthesis examples and examples. The following materials, processing details, processing procedures, and the like can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited by the specific examples shown below. Note that the evaluation of the light emission characteristics is as follows: source meter (manufactured by Keithley: 2400 series), semiconductor parameter analyzer (manufactured by Agilent Technologies: E5273A), optical power meter measuring device (manufactured by Newport: 1930C), optical spectrometer (Ocean Optics Co., Ltd .: USB2000), spectroradiometer (Topcon Co., Ltd .: SR-3), and streak camera (Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Ltd. model C4334) were used.

The difference between the singlet energy of each material (E _S1) and triplet energy (E _T1) (ΔE _ST) calculates the triplet energy singlet energy (E _S1) in the following manner, Delta] E _ST = It was determined by E _S1 -E _T1.
(1) Singlet energy E _S1
A sample having a thickness of 100 nm was prepared on a Si substrate by co-evaporating the measurement target compound and mCBP so that the measurement target compound had a concentration of 6% by weight. The fluorescence spectrum of this sample was measured at room temperature (300K). By integrating the luminescence from immediately after the excitation light incidence to 100 nanoseconds after the incidence, a fluorescence spectrum having a luminescence intensity on the vertical axis and a wavelength on the horizontal axis was obtained. In the fluorescence spectrum, the vertical axis represents light emission and the horizontal axis represents wavelength. A tangent line was drawn with respect to the short-wave rise of the emission spectrum, and the wavelength value λedge [nm] at the intersection of the tangent line and the horizontal axis was obtained. A value obtained by converting this wavelength value into an energy value by the following conversion formula was defined as E _S1 .
Conversion formula: E _S1 [eV] = 1239.85 / λedge
For the measurement of the emission spectrum, a nitrogen laser (Lasertechnik Berlin, MNL200) was used as an excitation light source, and a streak camera (Hamamatsu Photonics, C4334) was used as a detector.
(2) Triplet energy E _T1
The same sample as the singlet energy E _S1 was cooled to 5 [K], the sample for phosphorescence measurement was irradiated with excitation light (337 nm), and the phosphorescence intensity was measured using a streak camera. By integrating the luminescence from 1 millisecond after the excitation light incidence to 10 milliseconds after the incidence, a phosphorescence spectrum having the luminescence intensity on the vertical axis and the wavelength on the horizontal axis was obtained. A tangent line was drawn with respect to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side, and a wavelength value λ edge [nm] at the intersection of the tangent line and the horizontal axis was obtained. A value obtained by converting this wavelength value into an energy value by the following conversion formula was defined as _ET1 .
Conversion formula: E _T1 [eV] = 1239.85 / λedge
The tangent to the short wavelength rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum was drawn as follows. When moving on the spectrum curve from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side among the maximum values of the spectrum, tangents at each point on the curve are considered toward the long wavelength side. The slope of this tangent line increases as the curve rises (that is, as the vertical axis increases). The tangent drawn at the point where the value of the slope takes the maximum value was taken as the tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side.
In addition, the maximum point having a peak intensity of 10% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum is not included in the above-mentioned maximum value on the shortest wavelength side, and has the maximum slope value closest to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side. The tangent drawn at the point where the value was taken was taken as the tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side.

The result of measuring the transient attenuation curve with 340 nm excitation light is shown in FIG. The transient decay curve shows the result of measuring the luminescence lifetime obtained by measuring the process in which the emission intensity is deactivated by applying excitation light to the compound. In the case of normal single component light emission (fluorescence or phosphorescence), the light emission intensity decays in a single exponential manner. This means that if the vertical axis of the graph is semi-log, it will decay linearly. In the transient decay curve of the exemplary compound (1) shown in FIG. 3, such a linear component (fluorescence) is observed in the early stage of observation, but a component deviating from linearity appears after several μsec. This is light emission of the delay component, and the signal added to the initial component becomes a loose curve with a tail on the long time side.

The f value is the ease of the transition from S ₀ (ground state) to S ₁ (excited singlet state). In this calculation, the f value is used as a measure of the ease of light emission (fluorescence intensity). It was considered that the larger this value, the stronger the fluorescence.
